PBP New Offices
On November 14th 2007 Pro Business staff received a hot reception on arriving at the old office on Constitution Street in Edinburgh. Stunned office workers from the company and other businesses watched as firefighters tackled a blaze on the second and third floors of the Leith based building.
Lothian and Borders fire crews were called to the incident at 0600 GMT after a caller reported smoke coming from the second and third floor windows of the premises. Five fire appliances were initially sent, although that number was reduced to two by later in the morning. Fire investigators have said that the fire broke out as a result of an elctrical fault on the floor above us. The Fire service did a fantastic job in dealing with the incident and thankfully nobody was hurt. However the building was badly fire damaged and Pro Business were forced to immediately relocate to temporay offices on nearby Maritime Street.
We found new permanent offices in Febuary this year and were able to move in on July 15th after some work had been undertaken to get them properly kitted out for us. The new offices are fabulous and moving in heralded a new beginning for us as they are larger, brighter and more suitable for our set up. We were very pleased to find a location which enabled us to stay in the Leith area of Edinburgh as this is where we started out and we feel very much part of the community.
Almost a year after the fire which so badly damaged it we are pleased for our old landlords to see that work has finally begun on restoring the building and making it habitable again.
